Description
As educators we all know that we need to Maslow before we Bloom, but what do you do when a student brings more than an academic need into the classroom? Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) equips students with essential life skills such as self-awareness, empathy, and problem-solving, crucial for their overall well-being and academic success. Join Melisssa Mann for this hands-on, interactive workshop as we explore practical strategies to not only teach content, but to balance handling the social emotional needs that are displayed in the classroom so that you can help ALL students bloom. Get ready to take your teaching beyond academics and empower your students with skills for success! Melissa's expertise in social and emotional learning will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to integrate SEL practices into your curriculum that will improve student behavior and enhance relationships among peers and teachers.
